What is the standard of review required by the California Court of Appeal for an enhancement to a criminal conviction?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Rocha, C087088 (Cal. App. 2019):

When considering whether there is sufficient evidence to support a criminal conviction, "we review the entire record in the light most favorable to the judgment to determine ' "whether it discloses substantial evidence--that is, evidence which is reasonable, credible, and of solid value--such that a reasonable trier of fact could find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt." [Citation.]' [Citations.] 'We draw all reasonable inferences in support of the judgment. [Citation.]' [Citations.] Reversal is not warranted unless it appears ' "that upon no hypothesis whatever is there sufficient substantial evidence to support [the conviction]." [Citation.]' " (People v. Duran (2002) 97 Cal.App.4th 1448, 1456-1457 (Duran).) The same standard of review applies to the evidence supporting an enhancement. (People v. Wilson (2008) 44 Cal.4th 758, 806.)
